Your hair wore some roses (or perhaps they were peonies),

PS I think Anna would be stunning in an amethyst gown rather than that faded mauve thing she has on.
And the word of the day is: PARADIGM.
One of my favorite songs - Buddy, Can You Paradigm.
We don't allow groaning here at haineshisway.com
I also like the Embassy Ball Waltz in MY FAIR LADY.
Also, and I will defer to the musicologists who frequent the board, but isn't "Shall We Dance?" a polka, not a waltz? ("It's rather simple, the polka, really. It's just one, two three, AND.") I know we all think of it as a waltz because it's so grand, but I believe it's a polka.
Happy birthday, Dear Reader Ann!! May it be filled with Cherry Coke.
My fencing friend Naomi just got back from Iraq. She might come to fencing tonight. Isn't that exciting??
But oh, when I think of a waltz I think of "Anna" wearing that beautiful swirling dress dancing in that huge ballroom and wish that I , just once, could wear such a dress and have such a dance....
More IDOL comments:
I really believe that the top row (with the exceptions of Nadia and Jessica) were seated in the order of placement in the voting. They certainly corresponded to the busy signals I got when I called their numbers at ten minute intervals.
Nikko was first, COnstantine second, Carrie third, and Bo fourth, and that very clearly parallels the length of busy signals I got when calling their numbers.
As I said Tuesday night, I never got a busy signal at all for Jessica, Anwar, Nadia, Scott, or Vonzell after the first ten minutes.
May she rest in peace
List of Schiavo Donors Will Be Sold by Direct-Marketing Firm
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and JOHN SCHWARTZ
WASHINGTON, March 28 - The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.
"These compassionate pro-lifers donated toward Bob Schindler's legal battle to keep Terri's estranged husband from removing the feeding tube from Terri," says a description of the list on the Web site of the firm, Response Unlimited, which is asking $150 a month for 6,000 names and $500 a month for 4,000 e-mail addresses of people who responded last month to an e-mail plea from Ms. Schiavo's father. "These individuals are passionate about the way they value human life, adamantly oppose euthanasia and are pro-life in every sense of the word!"
Privacy experts said the sale of the list was legal and even predictable, if ghoulish.
...
Executives of Response Unlimited declined to comment. Gary McCullough, director of the Christian Communication Network and a spokesman for Ms. Schiavo's parents, confirmed that Mr. Schindler had agreed to let Response Unlimited rent out the list as part of a deal for the firm to send an e-mail solicitation raising money on the family's behalf.
...
Mr. McCullough said he was present when Mr. Schindler agreed to the arrangement in a conversation with Phil Sheldon, the co-founder of a conservative online marketing organization, RightMarch.com, who acted as a broker for Response Unlimited.
...
Mr. Sheldon - whose father, the Rev. Lou Sheldon, founder of the Traditional Values Coalition, has also sent appeals urging support for Ms. Schiavo - apparently played a dual role as a partner in RightMarch.com, which is working with the anti-abortion activist Randall Terry, and as a broker for Response Unlimited. Mr. Sheldon did not respond to phone calls yesterday.
"I think it sounds a little unusual right now because of the situation where she is in the process of dying," said Richard Viguerie, another major conservative direct-mail operator. "If you came across this information six months or a year from now, I don't think you would give it too much thought."

I forgot my favorite Victor Herbert waltz: "Jane, Jane, Jane" from BABES IN TOYLAND! Duh!
I have decided to be unswayed by the facts....(hey if its good enough for the "leaders" of our country it should be good enough for me!)

In fact, I am humming it right now
My favorite. :) I wonder why. ;)
If you try to waltz to it, you'll break a leg.
IT'S A POLKA!!!!!!

OK - I'm gonna head into the theatre to watch some of the understudy rehearsal that's going on. I just like watching rehearsals. I also need to check in with the Company Manager too. It's pay day!
;)
Then I think I'm gonna mosey a little further down Main Street to the Civil Rights Museum. And then back to the Peabody to catch the Ducks again.
Laters...
I forgot to mention that when I came home for lunch (some leftover wild rice and green beans with sliced mushrooms and an apple) waiting for me in the mailbox was a lovely gift from our lovely DR Danise. A small but jointed little brown bear popped out of the envelope, unharmed by his trip from Florida to New York City. Thank You Danise! I don't think you know it, (DR Elmore can vouch for us) but we have quite a collection of bears in the apartment. There are some other animals also, a very large Panda (named Ling Park), a couple of dogs, a rabbit, a lamb (both are puppets) and a 22 year collection of Gundy, an annual Christmas release bear from Gund. So our new little friend will be right at home among his many relatives.
Thanks again Danise.

Re: last night's ALIASBut think of the money they saved on sets!
It was sort of creepy being buried alive.
Ah okay. But why the train station?One of the stations of the Red Line in Los Angeles is supposedly where the current APO has their headquarters.
My favorite waltz is one by Mason Williams that deals with a three legged gal - Woody will provide details.Details, details, details...
It would seem like a subway station, but they are in LA, I beleive, and to my knowledge, there is no subway there. So, it must be a train station.
Some Sondheim Waltzes:
"I'm Calm," from Forum.
"The Cookie Chase," from Anyone Can Whistle.
"Someone is Waiting," from Company.
"Could I Leave You," from Follies.
"A Bowler Hat," from Pacific Overtures.
"A Little Priest," from Sweeney Todd.
"Agony," from Into the Woods.
"Lesson #8," from Sunday in the Park with George.
And, of course, the whole danged score to A Little Night Music.

DR Danise I have not forgotten about the photo. Just haven't had the time to get a copy made for you.
Would you believe I sent that at the same time you posted your reply, DR Michael! I will send you my address anyway. Look to your box!
"Lost" -- last night's story was mesmerizing, especially Locke's back story about meeting his mother and father. Sometimes, the survivors' dreams seem more real than their reality. And, of course, on "Lost", the reality is based on the fantastic.
After last night, I'm totally and wonderfully confused and amazed and wanting more, more, more.... (David Lynch, eat your heart out!)
Hello everyone! I have caught up at last. I was enjoying all the various and sundried birthday wishes from all you wonderful folk. Thank you all so very much. So far my birthday has been rather uneventful. A normal day at work, a rather motion sickness-inducing ride home...that's about it. However, as we speak, DR Jed is behind me in the kitchen baking what looks to be a spectactularly delicious chocolate cake. I believe I will celebrate my birthday by blowing the diet and eating copious amounts of cake.
Oh yes, I believe I forgot to mention that I'm now working the same temporary test-scoring job as DR Jed. Temporary, but good money :)
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I finally put my feet on the floor around 10:00 this morning. I got myself spiffed up a bit, then headed across the street to Memphis Grits for breakfast.
This morning's culinary feast was their Breakfast Platter. Two eggs (scrambled), sausage (patties), Memphis Grits (stone ground, cheddar cheese(!)), cinnamon apples, and a biscuit (with butter and honey). Very good and filling. And the coffee was very good too.
By the time I was done breakfasting, it was time to head over to the Peabody Hotel to catch the 11:00 March of the Ducks. I got there around 10:50, and there was already a pretty good crowd in the lobbby - which is actually smaller than one would think (well, at least smaller than I thought). All the prime viewing spots were taken, but I did manage to secure a piece of floor close to the fountain.
An announcement came on that gave a brief history of the Ducks. The whole thing started, more or less, as a joke of some hunters who though it would be a "good" idea to keep their live decoys (which were legal back then) in the marble fountain of the Peabody. Well, the "idea" stuck. Nowadays, a breeder breeds the ducks, Mallards, and they are allowed to mature at the Peabody. Once their stay at the Peabody has ended, they are returned to the breeder who then releases them back into the wild. In any case...
After the announcement, we are all directed to look towards the elevators. Music starts - a lively March, of course. The elevator doors open, and out come the ducks. -The ducks live in a "Penthouse" on the roof of the hotel when they are not in the fountain.
Lots of Oohhs and Aaahhs. Cameras flashing. Children giggling. Some clapping.
The Ducks march down the Red Carpet that is set up for them. Once they are all in the fountain - I believe there are five of them right now - the "Keeper" puts up the small barrier that keeps the Ducks in the fountain. More pictures.
At 5:00, the whole process is repeated in reverse as the Ducks make their way back up to their "Penthouse". I may try to get there at 4:30 in order to secure a better viewing spot, and take some more pictures.
:)
I think there is a subway in LA. Never been on it, but saw it in the film Speed and Volcanoe where a guy melts as he steps down from a train and into the lava.
I'm glad that it came out okay. I had to reduce the resolution in order to post it.
Thanks for the email.
It was wonderful meeting you.
I wondered how I would react when I met you all in person. Funny, but I didn’t feel shy or backwards at all. It was all so comfortable from the first moment we said, “Hi, I’m…….”.
When I came home, I had a package from DR George waiting for me! Such excitement! I can not thank you enough for the CD’s! I love them all but confess to being especially fond of two of them. ;) Can’t WAIT to listen to them.
I also proudly displayed my BK gift. You know, after looking at it in different lights and at different angles, I could almost swear it looks like a major religious icon. Which One, has yet to be determined, (Note to self, I need to check which is the hottest selling) but I feel that it IS possible…..
Not that I would part with such a treasure for ANY amount (Thought to self: Well, you do need to put up a privacy fence and you did want that note book computer….ah, hem)!
Soooo I just want to make it clear to anyone who happens to be cruising E-bay, if you happen to see a wrapper up for bid, no matter what religious icon it looks like, it is NOT mine! ;) :D ;)
I was also told (once again) that it was very quiet the whole time I was away. Funny, it’s never very quiet when I’m there. I just don’t understand.
It has been the same way for me when I have met other DR’s. Just wait until we meet in person!

LOL!! I am so sorry that we didn't get more time together. Next time I shall have to leave the DH to babysit and come and hang with you on the city!
I find I can't agree that it was right in any way, shape or form. We show more compassion to an animal that is suffering. We don't starve them, we give them a shot.
I'm so happy that you liked them...I knew that you would! ;D

Anybody heard anything else new on the Pope's health? I heard on NPR a few hours ago that he was on a nasal feeding tube (as opposed to the surgically placed one TS had) and that he was having difficulty breathing (no ord on whether he had been put on a ventilator) and that he had been given Last Rites....
You got it, girlfriend! 8)
We may even have to go that American Girl store (we won't tell the Vixter!)
I'll be rich by then (after the selling of a certain object, say no more) and will have Bonnie flown in. We'll take her! :)
I want to go too!! :)
I didn't hear about the Last Rites.
If I want a shot instead of being starved, I think that wish should be respected.
The Roman Catholic church no longer reserves "last rites" for the terminal ill. The sacrament is used more liberally - before surgury, etc.

'Last Rites' Not Always Sign of Death
Thursday, March 31, 2005
A look at the anointing of the sick, one of Roman Catholicism's seven sacraments:
The anointing of the sick is often misunderstood as signaling that a patient is about to die. That's because of its popular nickname — "last rites."
The ritual is performed to confer divine strength, peace, courage and forgiveness of sins, not only on a Catholic near death but also to a parishioner facing a grave illness or a serious operation. A Catholic can receive the sacrament more than once.
During the sacrament, the priest lays hands on the patient and prays "may the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up." He then anoints the forehead and hands with blessed oil.
The anointing may be preceded by the sacrament of reconciliation — commonly called "penance" — but the anointing of the sick alone offers forgiveness of sins if the patient isn't able to undergo a full confession. It may be followed by the sacrament of the Eucharist or Holy Communion
The girls' outing in NYC sounds great! Can I come, too? Seriously, Jane, please let me know when your plans come into focus and I will attempt to make it!
DR vixmom - are you feeling better?
vixmom: My local DVD store frequently gets early copies of DVDs - sometimes as much as a couple of months in advance.
I won't say the transfer is perfection, but for the most part it's pretty splendid, especially after all these years of having to endure the yellowy out of focus full frame atrocity that is the VHS tape. The tranfers only problems are several shots that are on the soft side because they're out of registration. But most of it is really sharp and the color is pretty eye-opening. I'm halfway through. Leslie Parrish is making my heart ache she's so beautiful. And, she's FUNNY. There are many great laugh-out-loud lines - one of my favorites: Marryin' Sam: My income depends on the outcome.

Oh, and Li'l Abner has no extras, not even a trailer, but then again it can be had for under ten bucks and it's the movie that counts.

N. Korea Demands U.S. Apology

EDINBURGH, Ind. (AP)
— The Venus de Milo had better wear a top and Michelangelo's David should put on some pants if they're going to be seen at a yard-art business.
Bartholomew County officials told the business near Interstate 65 that it must move cement copies of the classical statues — and about 10 others — out of public view because they are obscene under Indiana law.
"It's not fair to point out our business, and personally, I don't find them offensive," Ginger Streeval, a co-owner of White River Truck Repair and Yard Art, told the Daily Journal of Franklin for a story Wednesday.
Frank Butler, the county's zoning inspector, disagreed.
"They have nudity ... and that should not be in the view of a minor," he said
